That's the idea of the "2 weeks time for a match".
Basically, I want to do a round robin format. For 1 match, players get 2 weeks of time to meet to play on a schedule that they choose. Only requirement is to play that within the two weeks. If the match is not played in time, a draw is forced, or, if it is clearly one player's fault, that player gets an auto-loss.

Hey, just saw this . Let's join forces and write down all ideas and feedback that we got so far and make this tournament happen. There were solid questions asked in the other thread too so we can start finding some common solutions.
I'm currently at work but I can write more on it tonight

sounds very cool. i'm game.
would be awesome if there's still a mapmakers left on tl who could hook us up with some cool new maps for the league.
i remember the korean weekly used to be so badass cuz they used all these sweet maps.
also the motm cups were supa sweet.
maybe try to get a tl-superstar (taeja plz) to face off against the winner of the league.

Yep, SC2John wrote me a PM already! Hopefully we can join forces and realize the thing.

Hey
So I've compared this thread to the one i made, and since we pretty much suggest a very similar thing, an admin should probably merge them. I mostly wrote there about the big picture, whereas you went into some details from an organising pov. So if we join all the feedback this is what we get as result:
- TL bi-monthly League
- two divisions:
TL Elite (Diamond - Grandmaster)
TL Fighter (Bronze - Platinum)
- Prize - $$ split between grand final winners of the two divisions
- Minimum of 100 posts on TL is prerequisite for participation
- Map Pool chosen by community with a poll before registration begins
- Maintained on Liquipedia (either an admin, or everyone would contribute)
- those who participate at least once get an icon next to their team icon, so that whenever they post, it's visible if they participated, and in which of the two divisions they were. The icons would be 2, one for each division, made by someone within or outside TL staff. This i find a really cool idea, as the user signature will add information about your sc2 skills
- Match specific rules:
- race switches allowed if opponent agrees
- no smurfing allowed.
- no cheating allowed (well, obviously).
- random allowed
- The match is being played on the weaker player's server.
- For each match, players have two weeks of time. They can choose the exact match time freely
- Format -
- Round Robin, Bo3. 4 Seasons played. Top 4 from each round qualify for a 16 man playoff bracket (double
elimination, Bo3 until semifinals, then Bo5). But round robin can prove very hard to manage and extremely tiring for most players, if you have a lot of registrations (and you would have a lot of dead time waiting for matches with this format), so maybe like this format:
- Elimination: After the registration closes, and brackets are set, players will see brackets and have 10 days where they themselves contact their opponents, agree on a playing date, timezone etc, and play the game. They will then send the replays to the organiser as proof, and state the winner. After the 10 days, the admin collects results and updates brackets (those who registered and didnt play within the timeframe are disqualified), and the process is repeated (with a smaller timeframe) until reaching quarterfinals, and from there up to grand final the games will be cast on twitch.
Other notes:
- maybe try to get a tl-superstar (taeja plz) to face off against the winner of the league.
-> potentially very expensive, a progamer will require a very significant fee, especially a top korean

the main problems will be:
- scheduling matches (since people have real lives)
- ensuring people play their matches on time
- proper and accurate reporting
- avoiding byes and forfeits
the elimination system i recommended above fixes first 3 problems up until the quarterfinals, and then its easier to manage and cast the games, due to fewer matches. About forfeits - well those who forfeit due to personal reasons, then the opponent qualifies further

I would be interested as well.

Sooooo I'll try to get in contact with everyone who's interested in organizing. Thanks for the support and ideas, especially to xtorn!

Iono can you account for the skill difference between diamond and master (gm)
I'm a diamond player and I myself know I have no chance of beating a mediocre level master player.
I know it's not really possible to do this, but keep in mind that there is a large skill disparity.
